Eva Olid Set to Be Named Manchester United Women Head Coach
Eva Olid is set to be named the new head coach of Manchester United Women, according to reports from the BBC, the Guardian and the Telegraph. The former Hearts boss is understood to have been lined up to take charge at Old Trafford following Marc Skinner’s departure, with the club yet to make an official announcement.
What the Eva Olid reports say
The reports say United have moved to fill the vacancy left when Skinner left the club by mutual consent after five years in charge, just a month before the new Women’s Super League season. Olid, who managed Hearts before leaving the Scottish club, is named as the Red Devils’ chosen successor. As things stand, nothing has been confirmed by United and no start date has been announced.
The appointment would hand Olid the job of leading a squad captained by Maya Le Tissier into the new WSL campaign. Supporters can follow every twist through our coverage of Manchester United Women.
